L16: Lorenzo Musetti (ITA) WR 90 defeated (1) Daniel Evans WR 32 by 6-1 1-6 7-6(8)

A better performance than I expected. He even had four match points! hmm

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Dang Dang Dang, and I could have cashed out at at 30 quid gain at one point - I never learn, but I had such faith in Dan with all his tie break wins in doubles recently.

I don't think I expected Dan to win but having turned around the match in set 2 and got himself a bucket full of match points, I did hope he would see it through.

Nonetheless, hes got a few weeks on clay now (and an extra week prior to the French!) so can play himself, with his doubles, into clay court form!

Evo and Coria are all over there opponents 6-2 4-2 ahead. Dan turning into quite the doubles expert! I hope he is able to turn that into singles form, but for now, lets take the doubles success.

Dan and Coria got the doubles consolation prize 6-3 6-2, comprehensive win.

Clearly prefer Dan winning singles matches but his singles against the upwardly mobile young Italian was not bad to get so close ( pity about that ending! ) and it should be useful to get more match time on clay.

Not sure why but Dan and Coria have withdrawn and given their semi finals opponents a walkover into the final.

QF: Federico Coria (ARG) & Daniel Evans CR 401 (315+86) defeated Marco Cecchinato & Stefano Travaglia (ITA/ITA) UNR (0+312) by 2 & 2

SF: Lorenzo Sonego & Andrea Vavassori (ITA/ITA) CR 256 (175+81) "defeated" Federico Coria (ARG) & Daniel Evans CR 401 (315+86) by a walkover

Drawsheet states that the withdrawal was on the ground of an "abdominal strain" sustained by Dan. hmm

Coria has to get to Monte Carlo qualies, so that's why.

Not surprised to see one of them with an injury! Was looking at entry lists earlier and thought this would happen!
